Many members of the LGBTQ+ community struggle with coming out to their parents or their loved ones.  It is an experience many of us share.  I wanted to reflect on this moment in my life with my own mother.  We discuss my childhood and how she grappled with my being gay.  I would recommend listening to this episode for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community that may be struggling with their identity and I hope you can glean as much wisdom from our conversation as I did.

Kithen talk will be an ongoing series of shorter conversations with various friends of the culture.  Host Jeremy talks with his grandmother in the first installment of "Kitchen Talk" from Resolve.

Welcome to the worldwide debut of Resolve!  This podcast will serve as a safe haven to foster growth, conquer fears and mainly to live a conscious and more fulfilled life.  Every week we will pick a book for the month and give you a week by week synopsis of what we read.  Please read [email protected] with suggestions or comments.

This week our book is In The Meantime by Iyanla Vanzant.  This particular book as resonated with me so much that our entire brand and podcast has been created around it.  This book helped me take ownership and responsibility for actions.  While our book series may vary from book to book from things like financial planning or sex therapy--this book represents the core of what Resolve is about.

We hope you enjoy and look out for more episodes and guests to come!
